ROAST PORK BY THE TON.
A Five Acre Oven In
Chicago.

Pork Burnt UP at the Union Stock
Yards to the Tune of a Million and a
Quarter.
CHICAGO, June ga million and quar-
ter of dollars went up in smoke at the Union
stock yards to-day. Early this morning one
of the employees of the Chicago Packing and
Provision company discovered a fire in the
tank room In few minutes one of the
tanks exploded, scattering buring lard over
the adjacent buildings, and dozen separate
fires were soon competing with each other
in the destruction of the immense establish
ment. Though the fire was struck out this
started, the smoldering embers continued to
laden the air with the fumes of roast pork
and five acre oven will remain on the
premises red hot for at least a couple of
days.
The Chicago Packing and Provision COM
panys works occupy about six acres OF
ground, but the fire was kept within the
district bounded by Fortieth street, Center
avenue, Forty-secord street and the railroad
tracks, block west of Center avenue: This
territory contained four large buildings.
The main building was three hundred by
four hundred and seventy-fve feet. In it a
portion of the killing was done and the
hanging, cutting, packing, curing and
other work incidental to slaughtering es-
tablishment. Excepting the curing rooms,
in which were nineteen million pounds of
short ribs, the main building and its con-
tents are a total loss. The curing room,
10Ox150 feet and four stories high, lost it's
roof, but stone fire walls saved its contents,
portion of them in a roasted condition.
On the east side of the main building was
the warehouse 120x400, four stories and a
basement. The two upper floors at the south
end were used for killing. In the warehouse
were seventeen thousand barrels of mess
pork belonging to Armour & Co. The
building and much of the pork was wholly
destroyed. About three thousand live hogs
were in the building when the fire started,
but the company's employees succeeded in
getting most of them out. Between six hun
alive. Back of the main building was the
fertilizing factory and the engine house.
Both structures were burned completely.
During the afternoon the fremen gave
their attention to saving the short ribs in
the cutting room. While a number of the
men were inside the main building one Of
the walls fell, injuring J. A. Schafer, Thomas
Murphy, w. White, Captain Nichols and
Thomas Elliot. Mr.. Murphy died tonight.
Mr. Armour valued his seventeen thousand
barrels of pork at $360,000. He was unable
to give the amount of insurance. The plant
of the Packing and Provision company was
valued at $500, 900 and the stock at SOC, 600.
A large portion of the stock in store belonged
to other parties and the loss will be sus
tanned by them. About half the Chicago
Packing and Provision company's twenty
thousand employees will DO thrown out of
work.

stied with this, when they defeat staring them
in the face, backed out and forfeited the game
0 to 0, thus giving the championship to

BASE BALL MATTERS.

II ace for the Eastern League Cham
Pionship-Work Done by the New
Ravens and other Teams-Hartford
Gaining ON Bridgeport-The New Ha-
VEINS Play Four Games This Week
What Manager Kelly Says-The HILL
house High school Nine Gets the
Championship.
The race for the Eastern league champion
ship still goes on, with Bridgeport in
the lead. In their games on Friday and Sat-
urday last they were defeated by the Hart
fords. The Hartfords defeated them on their
own grounds, which is the second time the
Bridgeports have lost game there, the first
one being dropped to the New Havens The
Hartfords are not very far behind Bridge
port now and the latter team will have to do
better work than of late if it wants to keep
the lead
During the past week the New Ravens
played but two league games, and that is the
reason they dropped back to fourth place.
True they lost these two games, but when
the fact is considered that out of the last
eight games played they won five it will be
seen that they have done excellent work.
The New Ravens have been idle more than
any other club in the league. For two
weeks they lost but one game, and that to
the New York Reserves. But a club can
not keep on winning forever, and it happened
that their poor luck struck them just when
they had three league games to play. Had
they have played league games right along
they might now be close on to second place.
Waterbury has displaced New Haven for
third place because that team has played
five more games than the New Ravens.
They had a full week last week and the New
Ravens had but two league games
IL hal how %oa, Lo, fo-,,
two with Waterbury and two with Hartford.
They should win three of them. But to do
that they have got to get their batting clothes
on. The team is known as the heaviest hit
ting team in the league, but in the last three
The Waterburys nave suddenly taken bat
ting streak, and the New Ravens must do
better or their reputation for being the
heaviest hitting team will not be long stand
ing.
The fact of the matter is that during the
past three weeks the New Havens have played
as good ball as any team in the league. It
was the first team to give the Bridgeports a
setback, being the only team to beat them
three successive games. With the exception
of Cuff all the members of the team are in
frst-class condition. The team is, however,
weak yet at third base. When it is consid-
games, the Waterburys AZ, the Hartfords Al,
the Danburys SO and the New Ravens but 81
it can easily be seen why the New Ravens
are in fourth place. The Danburys are at
the tail end, and are very. likely to remain
there
Manager Kelly says that he does not ex-
pect to get higher than third place anyway,
and if he gets that he will be perfectly salts
fed.

BY Failing to apply Within Forty
Days for a Hearing.

NEW YORK, June 26.-It is learned that
the communication from Rome which was
transmitted to DR.. McGlynn nearly forty days
ago was not merely a summons to appear at
Rome, but was in fact papal bull of excom-
munication of DR.. McGlynn if he did not ap-
pear or make application for hearing at
Rome within forty days. AS no such appli-
cation has been made and as the doctor is
still here he stands communicated by his
own act. No further action of the Pope is
necessary. The effect of an application for
hearing is a stay of the bull, but without
such application the bull becomes perfect

ITS TRANSFORMING POWER.

ChristIanity,s Power-The Scripture
Question of HeredIty Touched
Upon-Dr. Munger-Rev. DIR. Hume's
Early Departure For India.
''There everlasting spring abides, and new
er whitening flowers" The pulpit of the
United church yesterday morning was occu-
pied by the pastor and Mr.. Robert S. Hume.
The latter gentleman returns to India the
coming week. Mr.. Hume read the lesson
previous to the sermon and led in the intro
ductory prayer. The new arrangement of
the service commences with congregational
hymn. The quartette choir then sang the
grand old hymn of the church, Universal,
''We Praise Thee, o God, ''and also the words:
s'Come unto me all We that labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest" DR..
Munger took for the subject of his sermon
the power of Christianity on human charac
ter, and more especially as we see it in the
life of ST. Paul. He contrasted Saul BREATH
ings, threatenings and slaughter against men
and women, disciples of the Lord, and Paul
looking to the utmost boundaries OF the
known world desiring that all might know
and love his Lord Fooled in his cruel at
he becomes its most able
defender, a man of great energy and indomit-
able resolution. Conversion transforms,
moulds and shapes character without
essentially changing its peculiar traits and
endowments. 1t is an orderly change,
mysterious, indeed, but life also has its mys-
teries. DR.. Munger alluded to the great sci
enti6c subject of heredity, showing that
were it not for the infinite love of God and
the beneicence of his laws the lives of few
children would be worth preserving, and
even as it is the scars of an evil ancestry are
upon US all. One is proud, another is selfish,
some are passionate and some are evil from
the crown of their head to the soles of their
feet. Conversion changes self-love into the
love of God. It introduces new spirit into
our lives, not mere influence, but a real
fact. ''Verily, verify I say unto you and
that which is born of the flesh is flesh; that
which is born of the spirit is spirit"
